APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING LAMPBLACK.

SPECIFICATION formnag part of Letters Patent No. 664,916, dated January 1, 1901.

Application tiled February 10, 1900. Serial No. l1,777. (No model.)

To ,ff/Z7, when?! it may concern:

Be it known that I, GOTTFRIED WEGELIN, a subject of the King of Prussia, Emperor of Germany, residing at Kalscheuren, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany,have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for the lllanufacture of Lampblack, (for which I have applied for patent in Germany, dated October 28, 1899,) of Which the following is a specification.

Hitherto the heat evolved in the production of lampblack from tar distillates has either been allowed to go to waste or has in exceptional cases been used for heating purposes of inconsiderable importance, and for the production of the distillate itself a special furnace has been used. The Working costs of the two separated processes were correspondingly proportioned.

The object of the present invention is to so combine the existing apparatus for producing lampblack from tar distillates With any desired construction of apparatus for distilling tar that the heat evolved in preparing the lampblack in the former is used for heating the latter, whereby, in the iirst place, one of the furnaces hitherto employed is rendered unnecessary, and, in the second place, the two distinct operations, which are, first, the distilling of tar, and, secondly, the manufacture of lampblack, are combined to form a comparatively simple one.

As shown on the accompanying drawing, in which two forms of construction-viz., a vertical and a horizontal distilling apparatusare shown in section, the vessel A containing the tar distillate is so arranged underneath or at the front of the distilling apparatus D that the flames leaping out ofthe first play as evenly as possible on the latter before passing into the back chamber K,Where the lampblack is deposited. The carburet of hydrogen evolved from the distilling apparatus D can be led oif and condensed in the usual manner.

Apart from the advantages already mentioned the combination of a distilling apparatus and apparatus for making lampblack has the special advantage that the operation can take place continuously and automatically. For the purpose of attaining this end it is only necessary to conduct the vapors entirely or in part from the distillin g apparatus D after being condensed into the vessel A to be burned. By this arrangement all delayin the operation is avoided. i

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

In combination in combined apparatus for producing lampblack and apparatusfor the distillation of tar, the combination of a tardistilling chamber, a furnace beneath it, and a lampblack-settliug chamber,in communication with the said furnace, whereby the heat from the furnace may distil the tar in the said distilling-chamber, and some of the combustible products therefrom may be selected and utilized in the said furnace Without combustion of the other distillation products, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two Witnesses.

GOTTFRIED WEGELIN.
